What is your first dance song? Why?
Shannon in Planning, on June 23, 2016 at 7:08 PM

I feel like the first dance as husband and wife is so special...especially because, at least in our relationship, we don't have occasion to dance often. We're throwing around a few ideas...we have a...

NWR: Oh the humidity!
Shannon in Community Conversations, on July 15, 2016 at 5:26 AM

We are dealing with one car at the moment. I took Adam to work at 4:30 and it was already 75 and humid! I am trying to get stuff done in the house this morning before the sun comes up, because it is...

Why must a happy time be so stressful? Family Drama.
Shannon in Community Conversations, on July 14, 2016 at 7:00 AM

Some background, FH and I have done things a bit non-traditionally (if you read any of my posts...SURPRISE). I will try to keep this short, but it's really a long ordeal. FH and I dated off and on in...

NWR: Anyone like to refinish furniture?
Shannon in Community Conversations, on July 11, 2016 at 12:12 PM

I love finding cool old stuff and giving it a facelift. Currently, I am working on a solid wood coffee table that my neighbor gave us. I am working on getting all of the old stain off right now...but...

Shannon in Community Conversations, on July 2, 2016 at 9:14 AM

We interrupt Shannon and Adam wedding planning to bring you Shannon's new classroom planning. LOL I've been teaching for a lot of years and one of my FAVORITE things is setting up a classroom for a...

We have our ceremony and reception venue!
Shannon in Planning, on July 3, 2016 at 11:25 AM

Our friends live on a large property that is very secluded and on the river. They are allowing us to hold our ceremony and reception there. I am aware that a lot of people think that "utilizing" (for...

Tried to revive an old thread, but it wouldn't post...so Show me your nontraditional engagement rings!
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on June 25, 2016 at 9:04 AM

I tried reviving an old thread on "Small" engagement rings. Mine is small and non-traditional and I adore it. When I first flew from PA to Colorado to see Adam after not seeing him in 17 years (see...

After interviewing for multiple jobs in multiple districts, I was offered a job in a public school today! Meet Warrior Run School District's new Middle School Emotional Support Teacher!

NWR: Positive thoughts/prayers/good vibes (I'll take any help I can get).
Shannon in Community Conversations, on June 29, 2016 at 6:58 AM

I have a teaching interview at 9:10 this morning. It's for a district that knows me well. I have one of their students in my classroom. I have been looking to get into a public school for over a year....

So, I don't like it...at least not for our wedding.
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on June 28, 2016 at 9:22 PM

I ordered a dress online that I thought would be perfect for our outdoor wedding. Disclaimer that I am not traditional and my dress will be purple. It came today. It fits perfectly, and is a really...

Shannon in Community Conversations, on June 27, 2016 at 4:56 PM

I've mentioned before that I teach in a private school for kids with severe behavioral challenges. I have high school Autistic Support/Emotional Support. One of my boys is moving after this week and...

NWR: Crazy things happen when you miss a day of work.
Shannon in Community Conversations, on June 24, 2016 at 5:39 AM

I teach in a school for kids with severe behavioral issues. We are currently in our first session of summer school. I was sent home on Wednesday because my director and the nurse suspected I had pink...

Who wrote their own vows?
Shannon in Planning, on June 23, 2016 at 7:50 PM

Adam and I plan to write our own vows. Although our wedding is over a year away, I am compiling ideas because I am a bit of a perfectionist when I write and this is so important. Does anyone have any...

Shannon in Planning, on June 22, 2016 at 6:08 PM

There seem to be a LOT of us getting married on 10/14/17. I thought it would be nice to have a thread to chat and get to know each other! I'm Shannon. My fiancé is Adam. We're planning an outdoor...

What special touches/traditions are you including in your ceremony?
Shannon in Planning, on June 20, 2016 at 5:40 AM

The unity sand/candle thread got me thinking...those ceremonies are relatively common. (No judgement. We're doing sand too.) What other elements or traditions are you including that makes your...

I ordered my dress! (Now, let's hope it fits)
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on June 19, 2016 at 11:48 AM

I'm new here...just signed up today. This is neither Adam's or my first marriage. We don't want the traditional big, white poofy dress and church ceremony thing. Been there, done that...don't wish to...

Hi! I'm new here (An Introduction).
Shannon in Community Conversations, on June 19, 2016 at 12:25 PM

Hello! I found this board after being on a different popular wedding site (which shall remain nameless) full of snarky people who think all weddings need to cost tens of thousands of dollars, rings...

Am I doing something wrong with wedding websites?
Shannon in Planning, on June 19, 2016 at 11:59 AM

I am trying to set up some stuff on our wedding website. I have redone the same section three times now and it keeps disappearing. Edit, save...go to move it from hidden to viewable and it goes back...
